Notes & reviews

Jayson Werth and Chipper Jones collided in the baseline; Werth was tagged out at the plate on a close play; Jones was called for obstruction and the run counted; in the opinion of the official scorer, Werth would have scored easily without the obstruction; therefore, the play was ruled a single and an RBI without an error on Jones (Rule 10.12[c] comment)
infield shifted to right for Brian McCann
Brian McCann hit a slow grounder to the SS position but no one was there to field it; SS Ian Desmond ran over from the other side of second base but two runs scored
Ryan Zimmerman threw to second too late to get Jason Heyward; Danny Espinosa dropped the ball when Heyward rolled into him; 2B umpire Tim Welke raised his right arm, seemingly calling Heyward out; both managers came out to check on players and the call; the umpires talked and Heyward was allowed to stay at 2B
Jason Heyward's liner caromed off pitcher Chad Gaudin into RF
